Ghibli classic Kiki’s Delivery Service is receiving a (Japanese) live action adaptation, and for once there is some enthusiasm that it may not be butchered – based largely on the response to rookie 16-year-old actress Fuuka Koshiba’s “picture perfect” cosplay casting as Kiki.

I'm going to predict how this adaptation will go.
The female character will act exactly like Ghibli's previous female characters. She will also look like Ghibli's previous female characters, only more obviously white.

A passage describing Nazi guillotine sex action has won the unprestigious 2009 Bad Sex In Fiction Award, thanks to such memorable phrases as “I came suddenly, a jolt that emptied my head like a spoon scraping the inside of a soft-boiled egg,” and “This sex was watching at me, spying on me, like a Gorgon’s head, like a motionless Cyclops whose single eye never blinks.”

The colossal and highly successful グイン・サーガ / Guin Saga series of fantasy novels, by 栗本薫 / Kaoru Kurimoto, now standing at over 120 volumes, will be adapted into an anime airing in the spring of 2009. The announcement was made on the cover (obi) of the just released 122nd volume, though that there was activity in adapting it to anime has been discussed for a few years (three years ago, in fact).

This is sure to be an interesting project, and possibly the start of a major mixed media franchise, although as yet further details are lacking. Via Moonphase.
